Oblates of St. Frances of Rome - The Agnus Dei

The Agnus Dei

By special privilege, the Sisters of Tor de' Specchi are the only one permitted to create an item of special Papal significance. It is a small wax image of Christ as the Lamb of God (Latin: Agnus Dei). This is presented by the Pope as a token of honor to those whom the Holy See wishes to recognize as having given notable service to the Church. They are blessed during Holy Week and distributed at Easter.
